Chapter 1566 Chasing the murderer
Mei Niang was surprised. She didn't know why these two little bugs could detoxify, but since Chu Huan said that, it was true. Seeing the two little bugs crawling back and forth on the blood bumps, she felt itchy on the back of her hands, and she didn't know if it was detoxifying.
After a long time, the two insects crawled to the side and did not move. Chu Huan knew what the two guys meant and put the mouth of the bottle closer. The two ice heartworms immediately got into the bottle. Chu Huan put the lid on the cover and put it in his arms. When he looked again, he saw that the blood lumps on the back of Mei Niang's hand had diminished a lot, and even the blood color had faded a lot, but the lumps did not disappear.
Chu Huan frowned, not knowing whether it was because the effect of the medicine was slowly disappearing or the ice heartworm was not completely detoxified, so he was worried.
The ice heart worm presented by Gusa Concubine is naturally the treasure of poison. The ice heart worm can be easily removed from most poisons. It can be said to be the king of poisons. However, in the world, there are no less than a thousand kinds of poisons. Ice heart worms have immediate effects on most poisons, but they are not able to remove the poisons in the world. As Gusa Concubine herself once said, all the poisons in the world have their own medicinal properties, and the ice heart worms are not invincible.
Seeing that Chu Huan's expression was still serious, Mei Niang couldn't help but ask, "Is it... okay?"
Chu Huan frowned and didn't say anything. After a moment, he finally said, "Go with me."
Mei Niang suddenly showed joy and said, "Did you figure it out?"
"It's not that I figured it out." Chu Huan sighed, "It seems that the other party is really thoughtful. He is determined to let me go... He may not have expected you to come with me, but he thought that bat blood could poison me."
Mei Niang was stunned, but she was smart and already understood Chu Huan's meaning, "Are you saying that the other party sets a trap, and the bat is also for dealing with you?"
"This is just one of his methods." Chu Huan frowned and said, "If I were stained with bat blood, I'm afraid he would have been poisoned. I'm afraid he would have predicted that I would not be able to remove this bat poison. As long as I was infected with bat poison, I would naturally go to find him..."
Mei Niang's eyes rolled and she understood, "He was worried that you would not go there because of Master Nuoji Luo, so she hoped to hurt you with bat poison. As long as you are poisoned, you have to go for your own life if you don't want to go."
Chu Huan nodded and said, "That's the reason."
"But since he wants to see you so much, why don't he wait for you here?" Mei Niang frowned and said, "Why do you have to work harder and ask you to find him?"
Chu Huan sneered, "Actually it's very simple. Although he sent someone to stay here, he couldn't stay here forever. All of this was planned by him, so it would be fine if I didn't come here. Once I came here, the purpose of the people who stayed here was to lead me there. If I guessed correctly, those people would definitely leave clues and let us find the past."
At this moment, when they heard the sound of horse hooves, the two of them immediately looked over there, and saw a few horses flying over. They had heard Qi Hong's voice saying, "Sir, are you here?"
Chu Huan shouted: "It's here."
Qi Hong came over with a horse. He was very skilled. Not only did he ride his own horse, but he also brought Chu Huan and Mei Niang's horses, turned over and dismounted. Seeing that Chu Huan and Mei Niang were safe and sound, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Bi Zhi waited at the entrance of the village for a long time, but there was no movement from the adults. I was afraid that something would happen. When I arrived in the village, I happened to meet someone sneaking and asked him whereabouts. The man actually knew and told Master Wu Zhi that he might come here...!"
Mei Niang sneered: "Liu Tianfu has not been able to return to the village for a while. The person you met should have been sent by Liu Tianfu to communicate and returned to the village. You happened to see it."
"What's going on?" Qi Hong didn't know what happened, but Chu Huan didn't explain, and said in a deep voice: "Don't delay, let's go..." He led a horse and went straight to the south.
He had seen the place where the horses were on the roof before, and came here directly, squatted down, looked at the ground, and sneered at the corner of his mouth. Mei Niang also came over, glanced at it, frowned and said, "You are right, they are deliberately leading you to... Look at the ground, this is the mark of the horseshoe. The horseshoe must have been made into a lotus shape. When stepping on the ground, the lotus mark was left."
Chu Huan nodded slightly, "He is afraid that we will throw away the simple horseshoe mark. The lotus mark left by the horseshoe is very clear. As long as you follow the lotus mark, you can find them." He sneered: "They have good intentions, but they are afraid that we can't find them, so they have to work hard..." He looked up at the front and said lightly: "Don't hurry, I won't let you wait too long."
Chu Huan led Mei Niang and Qi Hong all the way south. Every time he went out, Chu Huan got off the horse and checked. The lotus seal was very clear. Since the other party was determined to lead Chu Huan to go, he naturally tried his best to leave clues. Chu Huan followed his footprints and almost effortlessly, and chased through several villages. He walked for about tens of miles and walked for another ten miles. It was already dawning.
Chu Huan was afraid that the toxins in Mei Niang were not clear, so she followed Mei Niang. Sure enough, she suddenly saw Mei Niang's horse slow down and her body was shaking on the horse's back. Chu Huan immediately kicked her feet and jumped up from her horse's back. She rose up like an eagle and landed on Mei Niang's back. She hugged Mei Niang from behind and strangled the horse. Mei Niang felt dizzy again at this time and almost fell from the horse. Fortunately, Chu Huan was very fast and had already jumped onto her back and hugged her before Mei Niang fell off the horse.
Qi Hong also strangled the horse. Seeing Mei Niang doing this, he was a little surprised. Chu Huan hugged Mei Niang, picked up Mei Niang's hand, and looked at the back of her hand. He saw that the blood lumps on Mei Niang's back still did not dissipate, but did not spread.
Chu Huan frowned and understood in his heart that although he used the ice heart worm, he still failed to remove the bat poison. He was quite surprised. From this point of view, the bat poison is really extraordinary. Even the ice heart worm cannot deal with it. From then on, it can be judged that at least the other party is using a poison master, and the poison he used is difficult to crack.
"Sir, do you want to take a break?" Qi Hong asked.
Chu Huan shook his head. He knew that the poison of Mei Niang's body had not been resolved. The longer the delay was, the more trouble it would be. He signaled Qi Hong to dismount and check. After Qi Hong dismounted, he looked carefully and nodded, "The lotus seal is still there..."
Chu Huan did not hesitate anymore, simply threw down his horse, held Mei Niang with one hand, held the reins of the horse in the other, and urged the horse to walk. This time he had traveled dozens of miles again. He was indeed familiar with the road. This was clearly the road to Yunshan Prefecture City. He thought to himself, could the other party actually be in Yunshan Prefecture City?
But soon, the lotus seal broke eastward, not far from Yunshan Prefecture City, and turned to another small road. At every fork, Chu Huan would ask Qi Hong to check the horseshoe seal to avoid taking the wrong road. The other party was so troublesome that Chu Huan became more and more confused about the identity of the enemy. His biggest suspect was Visa Mon, but he vaguely felt that there might be someone else.
He chased Xu Yuan all the way. After ten days of noon, he suddenly saw a small undulating mountain in the distance. Chu Huan stayed in Yunshan Mansion for a long time. He had heard that there was a small yunshan south of Yunshan Mansion. If you guessed it well, it was Xiaoyunshan in front. It was June and approaching Xiaoyunshan, and bursts of refreshing bamboo fragrance came to his face. The mountain was not high, but at the foot of the mountain, Chu Huan saw that Xiaoyun Mountain was full of dense bamboos, hundreds of green bamboos swinged in the wind, making a brushing sound. The fragrance emitted by the bamboo forest was also refreshing.
The lotus seal actually reached the foot of the mountain and there was no trace. Mei Niang recovered again at this time, but her face was already very pale, and even cold sweat oozed out of her forehead.
Chu Huan got off the horse. He knew that the other party was probably on the mountain and ordered Qi Hong to stay at the foot of the mountain and not to follow him. Qi Hong also knew that things were strange and repeatedly begged to go there. Chu Huan refused completely. Qi Hong had no choice but to watch Chu Huan pull Mei Niang's hand and follow a path up the mountain to enter the mountain.
There were dense bamboo forests on both sides. Between the bamboo forest, a small path of sheep intestine was twisting and twisting. Chu Huan held Mei Niang's hand, was careful and walked slowly up the mountain. The mountains were quiet, and there was no one in sight. Only the rustling sound of the bamboo forest shaking.
When he walked halfway up the mountain, he suddenly heard a sound of piano sound that seemed to be there and there was nothing. Chu Huan was stunned. The piano sound was long and the tune was very clear. It stopped in his ears and made people feel a sense of concentration and calmness. Chu Huan frowned and looked in the direction of the piano sound. The piano sound was far away. Chu Huan actually felt that some of the tunes looked like Buddha's voice.
Soon, Chu Huan saw a mountain stream flowing gurglingly, and the stream water was crisp, which was in harmony with the sound of the piano. It was extremely coordinated. Mei Niang heard the sound of the song in a low voice, "Look!"
Chu Huan looked up and saw a figure sitting cross-legged on the ground by the stream not far away, sitting in front of the man with a guqin. The person playing the piano was in front of him.
Chu Huan held Mei Niang with one hand, and the other hand reached her waist, held the blood-drinking knife, and slowly walked towards her. She saw that the man was covered in a gray robe. Not only was he wearing a gray robe, but he even had a gray scarf on his head. It looked very strange. Chu Huan was on guard and walked behind the man only five or six steps away and stopped.
The man seemed not to notice that someone was behind him, and was still playing the piano with his heart. Chu Huan did not immediately go forward, but just observed around to see if there were other people. He faintly saw a few figures standing there quietly on the bamboo forest on both sides. The bamboo forest was very dark, and those figures were covered by green bamboos, so Chu Huan couldn't see them clearly for a while.
A moment later, the sound of the piano came to an abrupt end, and the man in gray robe calmed down: "This is the "Heart Curse of the Qing Dynasty". Have you ever listened to it?"
Chu Huan asked back without answering: "Are you going to see me?"
The man in gray robe raised his hand, and Chu Huan saw something flying over and immediately reached to hold it, but it was a porcelain bottle. Hearing the man said lightly: "If it is two hours later, the God of Daluo will not be able to save her. You are lucky."
Chu Huan was stunned, but he didn't expect that the other party would take out the antidote so happily and hand it to Mei Niang, and said in a deep voice: "Who is the sacred person of you? It took a lot of trouble, why did you lead me here?"
"Master Chu has forgotten so much." The man slowly stood up and turned around, "Do you remember me?"
